EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!

[lucetimods]

Who: Everybody! Everybody!
What: It's a beach! There's fruit! Love in the air! Classy private rooms in the mountains!
When: From sunrise to midnight! (AND IT'S TODAY! FEBRUARY 18th!)
Where: Out on the beach, centered around the teleporter/tunnel exit area. But it feels like July out there! Ain't that just the shit?
Summary: Summary? Why does this need a summary. I said everything up there. And then I'm gonna say even more after this. Why do we need this field? Seriously, anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Rating: KEEP IT CLEAN, KIDS. Take your dirty smut to an appointments post!

Long Ago In A Distant Land, Akai, the fully functional fonbot, unleashed a fairly standard mod post. But a foolish player kept asking questions and come on, do you really need to know that much? Now everyone wants to play out their ships and get into fruit shenanigans and undo to evil that is AKAI.

((No, but seriously guys, look at the mod post, you know what to do. Everything you need is there. Mass log post, remember to tag your characters name here, and do your thing.))

OH YEAH! So like, assume there is stands (or you know, beach-appropriate huts) here and there that are stocked up on bathing suits (and curtains you can change behind), stands with beverages, and snacks. Nobody's really operating them, new stuff just gets Shifted there (BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT WATCHING). The Malnosso are the most considerate bro-ginization ever.

It's rather relaxing and warm f-for starters. M-Much better than, ah, back at the village. It also looks quite amazing when the s-sun sets.

[ Issac you are persistent. Most people wouldn't even care to ask really. Helios bites his lip shrugging. ]

It's really not. I-I just had a ah...s-slight mishap. [ A wince as he brings that up. All sorts of unpleasant emotions drifting across his features and posture. ]

Warning for a smutty remark.

[relictusdeus]

A mishap indeed~. [Another roll of his eyes.] One would think I had demanded that you service me from how you are behaving on the subject.

[He pauses a beat, glancing at the other from the corner of his eye with a hint of roguishness to his expression.] I suppose that you would be opposed to the idea~?

[Half-serious.]

hdghuj Issac

[folklorist]

Yes th-that's all it was. [ Oh my god. Helios goes red at that remark because what. I mean, what?! ]

N-No! I mean yes! [ This is so awkward and embarrassing! ] I-I'm seeing someone as it were.

[relictusdeus]

Ah; of course~.

[Smiling, he nods gently as if truly sympathetic to his embarrassment.]

A shame. I would have liked for us to... become better acquainted with one another. [An indulgent chuckle.] Well~. Should you desire something more... thrilling, you need not deny yourself. We are all but beasts, after all. Some... more... than others.

[folklorist]

Ah! W-Well we, we certainly can. Get to know one another better I mean! I-I'm never opposed to talking to people. I think I-I sometimes talk a bit too much, really. [ Helios manages a shaky smile. As for the other thing...Helios is not touching that. ]

S-So where, um, exactly are you from? Your world what is it like?

Warning for Isaac's strong opinion?

[relictusdeus]

If it is an honest opinion that you seek, I believe that mouth of yours would best be busying itself in other ways.

[He'll let this go eventually, fff. To share his company is to suffer his incessant albeit not-always-malicious teasing.]

So... you wish for me to tell you of Valachia, do you? Hn. [A wry snort.] ...Mothers and fathers thinking their beloved infants to be demons leave them to die. Sodomites and witches burn at the stake, accused by even their own neighbours. The guilty and the innocent roast all the same. 'tis but one of the ways they are made to suffer in the name of the all-loving God.

[folklorist]

[ Oh dear lord Issac why are you making him so uncomfortable. Helios' face just goes red again. He is just not even going to touch on that statement, nope. He will laugh sheepishly and rub the back of his head though. The things he does to make people feel more welcome. Helios' eyes widen at that description. ]

O-oh. I-I'm...I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be...very hard. [ He looks apologetic at having Issac speak about this because it hardly sounds pleasant and it now makes sense about the other's mindset throughout this entire conversation. It's always hard to hear about worlds especially when they're so much different and seemed so much harder to live in than his own. ] I'm terribly s-sorry to have m-made you, ah, r-remember anything. My curiosity gets the better of me I'm afraid.

[ His eyes are downcast as he replies a bit meekly. ]

[relictusdeus]

[The devil forgemaster does not acknowledge the apology, visibly or verbally. There was nothing of the sort in the castle beyond, "forgive me, my lord", to his master - him to Dracula, and his underlings to him. It is an unpleasant position for one to be in if one finds themselves needing to say that.]

Of course... you too would be burned alive were anyone to suspect you of sorcery. God forbid someone does not like you. [He rolls his eyes, but humourlessly.] All it takes is a whispered word, the expression of some grievance to implicate you.

[folklorist]

M-my own world went...went through a very harsh time in regards to s-such things as well. They were called the W-Witch Trials. A lot of...powerful magical families were killed. It's why I... [ a sigh and a small humorless chuckle because to someone such as Issac it must sound ridiculous and pointless but, well, it's his and Elise's dream and it's a dream he will not give up on. ] It's why I am trying to make it equal for all creatures and beings in my world.

[relictusdeus]

[As anticipated, the devil forgemaster doesn't have much faith in the success of Helios' dream, and oh, does it show on his face. At one point in his life, he may have believed - had wanted to believe, rather - that living in harmony was perhaps still possible, but that small, fragile hope has long since been trampled down.]

A damned waste of time. [He remarks bitterly, a marked silence following.] Even if you manage to achieve some illusion of it, it will not last. Man cannot live in peace among his own kind, let alone with other creatures.

[folklorist]

[ A small flinch and hunch of his shoulders. Helios shakes his head unable to agree with that. ] P-Peace? No, no but perhaps a-a compromise of sorts. To have everyone on equal footing and trusting of each other w-would be good enough for me. Everlasting peace...with so many differing cultures and ideas is understandably near impossible to achieve. But I'd like to think that...well, somewhere along the line it could happen.

[relictusdeus]

Hah. [He exhales sharply, the sound too faint to be a full-blown, scoffing laugh.] ...And others think me mad.

[At the thought, he lazily rolls of his eyes, a smile tugging at his lips. He glances towards his company after a beat.]

My dear Helios... What am I to do with you~? [He has no shortage of ideas in that regard, but...]

[folklorist]

It...it does seem a bit outlandish, doesn't it? But, ah, I-I think it can be done if everyone tries their hardest. [ He gives a sheepish laugh. ]

I-I'm not sure, really. I've been asked that question before though. What are people going to do with me. [ No Issac none of that. ]

[relictusdeus]

And...? [He asks expectantly, arching a brow.] Am I right to suppose you shrugged your shoulders and suggested something terribly boring, at best?

[folklorist]

[ Another sheepish laugh. ] It-it depends on your definition of b-boring but, ah, talking or t-taking a walk on the beach isn't too terribly boring at least?

[ Yes it is Helios especially to some one like Issac. ]

[relictusdeus]

[Isaac gives him a look as if to say, 'are you serious?' before making a show of rolling his eyes yet again.]

There are ...better uses of one's time. As you have already been made aware. [At the same time, he shows no signs of wanting to leave quite yet.]

[folklorist]

Ah! [ Just going to laugh his face going ever a bit more red. ] Y-Yes there is. Especially here. N-Never a dull moment, hm? The library and that...battle dome thing. They can certainly keep one preoccupied for quite awhile!

[relictusdeus]

[Never a dull moment? On the contrary, he found himself bored stiff.]

This... battle dome I have yet to investigate. But from what I have read, it is of little interest to me.

[folklorist]

But even with the option to see other places and to experience new things you still find it...uninteresting?

[ Hm. ] Ah, well, everyone does have their own opinions on things. W-What sort of things would you find interesting then?

[ Though Helios probably can figure out what they are he's still going to venture to ask. ]

[relictusdeus]

Why do battle with mere illusions of enemies? One acquires far more experience, and...
